Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) announced a strategic technology partnership with U.K. retailer Marks and Spencer plc. (M&S) to enable the retailer become a digital-first business.

As part of the deal, TCS would be M&S’s principal technology partner and help drive agility, intelligence, innovation and efficiency to transform the retailer’s customer experience and drive growth of M&S’ business. TCS did not disclose the value of the deal.

TCS’s long-standing partnership with M&S has helped build a strong contextual knowledge of their business, according to Rajesh Gopinathan, MD and CEO, TCS.

“This is coupled with our deep domain expertise, positioning TCS to be the principal technology partner to M&S. TCS will help the customer adopt a digital-first mindset to win new customers and create growth at accelerated pace,” he said. TCS had earlier announced a $2-plus billion contract win from American insurer Transamerica.
